Cut Down on Waste this Christmas with Plantable Christmas Cards.

There's no denying that us Brits love to send Christmas cards in the UK, with an estimated 8 billion cards hitting the post boxes every year. But how many of those are stored in our memory boxes versus being thrown into landfill?

--------------------

Without turning one of the jolliest times of year into a environmental catastrophe, it’s worth bearing in mind some sustainable swaps we can choose that will be enjoyed instead of wasted. 

At Blooming Heck, we've created some sweet, amusing, and cheery Plantable Christmas cards this festive season, showing that sustainable and eco-friendly giving doesn’t mean simple and subdued.

In fact, our christmas cards are certainly noticeable on the mantelpiece.

Blooming Heck's plantable Christmas cards allow you to choose your festive gifts and cards wisely. By hand-picking and personalising your cards directly via the website, you’re able to give something practical that rewards nature, while remaining fun and filling your home with beautiful blooms. 

Why should I send a plantable card this festive season?

Plantable Christmas cards are not only environmentally friendly, but they’re also educational, quirky, and allow people to go back to simple activities like gardening and learning about which bugs and bees help our ecosystem thrive.

Blooming Heck cards also allows people to remove the unnecessary “Christmas admin” as these seeded alternatives means there’s no need to scrutinise which ones meet the recycling guidelines.

Imagine knowing that everyone on your Christmas card list will be able to tear and sow their card into small plants instead of burying their cards amongst the wrapping paper and Christmas dinner in the bin! Plus, how many people can say their bog-standard paper cards teach them a thing or two about how clever nature is and that they can discover new plants and flowers, while enjoying tending to pretty seeds? 

Grab yourself a Christmas card bundle all the family will love.

By opting for plantable cards over paper ones, you’re making a sustainable choice with biodegradable materials that will fully decompose into something valuable. Not all paper cards are recyclable, especially if they’re covered in sparkles and glitter. They may look fabulous but often those paper cards are teeming with microplastics, therefore ending up in the bin come new year. 

Our sustainable gifts are full of curiosity, facts, and fun. By purchasing from eco-conscious businesses like us means we can continue to create and share our latest designs with you all year round. Not only does this benefit the environment, offer something special to open, but it helps to preserve our local habitats too.
